I talked a little bit about what I worked on during Friday Night Sew-In in my Favourite Things Friday post. I started FNSI as soon as I got home from work yesterday afternoon. I got the binding on my Cosy Posies quilt and got it washed and dried and wrinkled and ready to give to a very special aunt.
I took a little break, had dinner with Mr. Bug and then got back to work. I pulled out a quilt top I've had finished since last July. It is made from the same fabric line as the Cozy Posies quilt {and Baby Frolic}, and it was so much fun to make. When Frolic came out last spring, I absolutely fell in love with it. And I bought my first Jelly Roll, along with a few coordinates.

I love cross-hatching type quilting. It's looking great!
Love the quilting on this one Elizabeth. It looks fantastic. My you've been on fire lately with your quilting!
I think it's safe to say you've managed to balance the working Mom thing and your leisure time. Well done!
Really, really cute!
Wow! I love this quilt! I'm hoping you can teach me to free-motion quilt someday. It's the expense of having quilts machine quilted that keeps me out of fabric shops.
I love your stripes binding. Do you always cut your binding on the bias? How important is it really?
You made a lot of progress on quilting that quilt for FNSI. I'm liking the diagonal quilt lines.
I just can't believe all that you get done and in such beautiful fashion!
